Chapter Fifty-Seven: Hot Weapons and Cold Weapons
The four pirate ships had already stopped at the dock, and the four leaders stood in the helm tower and looked condescendingly at the small Crescent Island, and one of the deputy regiments sneered: "Brown, you were defeated by this broken island, and dozens of brothers were left here?"
"You...... They have a strange weapon, and we were attacked by them. "Brown is the deputy head of the group who invaded Crescent Island with Gree, and he is being ridiculed by another deputy head at the moment, his face is red and he gritted his teeth, which is simply his greatest shame.
"Haha, but is it true that there is treasure on this island?" asked the pirate leader, who didn't care about Brown's deaths, but was interested in the treasure.
"Absolutely true, it was told to me by a pirate who escaped from their island. Brown said fiercely: "I saved his life, he can't deceive me." ”
The pirate leader squinted at Brown and teased, "It's possible that you have been used by others, but it doesn't matter, there are three such perfect ships on this small island, which can make up for the loss of our voyage this time." ”
Brown was speechless, but he thought it was possible. However, the leader of the Blood Shark Pirate Group spoke at this time: "Whether there is treasure or not, this small island, we will crush it, he has killed so many of our brothers, the majesty of the Blood Shark Pirate Group cannot be provoked." ”
"Yo, Commander, you see, they also set up obstacles, are they trying to stop our anger with sandbags?"
The other deputy head of the regiment teased, causing everyone to laugh.
"Let's go, get off the boat, and kill the entire island!" said the head of the Blood Shark group.
On the docks, the pirates began to push forward, and when they were within range of the muskets, Donner said coldly, "Ready...... Put. ”
"Bang!"
The muskets were divided into three shots, the first team pulled the trigger and stepped back to reload the gunpowder, while the prepared second team immediately lay forward on the sandbag and continued to shoot, and then the third team made up for it.
Three-stage shooting, historically one of the most famous tactics of early arquebuses.
At that time, there was no continuous firearm firearm, and the three-stage shooting made up for the shortcomings of the arquebus to fill the gunpowder gap, and was able to fire projectiles quickly and continuously and effectively.
The arquebus shooters have practiced many times before, but in the current tense battle, there are still many problems, such as some team members forgot to light the arquebus, or forgot to put in the projectile, and two rounds appeared dumb fire.
These situations are the most common problems with thermal weapons, and there is not much actual combat experience on Crescent Island, so this kind of problem is inevitable, but fortunately, there is no musket to blow up, and it seems that the quality of the blacksmith shop is still okay.
The pirates were once again frightened by the sudden sound of gunfire, and the damage caused by the muskets was also very considerable, and several pirates who were hit in the vital parts lost their combat effectiveness at the moment.
The pirates were terrified of this mysterious weapon, and before they saw it, several of them fell.
In fact, before the advent of thermal weapons, before it was well known, the panic and deterrence caused far more than the damage caused by the arquebus itself.
The three-stage shooting of the arquebus not only demoralizes the enemy on the battlefield, but also frightens the enemy's horses and makes the enemy feel afraid.
Of course, black powder thermal weapons also have their inevitable flaws, needless to say, such as dumb fire explosions, and most importantly, extremely poor adaptability to bad weather such as rainy days.
Fortunately, the weather on Crescent Island is good today.
"Rushing over, these bugs are only worthy of hiding behind sandbags and sneaking up with strange weapons. The head of the Blood Shark Regiment boarded the dock, and when he saw that the pirates were showing a tendency to retreat, he shouted sharply: "Whoever takes a step back, kill whoever comes, rush over to Lao Tzu and kill them all, their weapons are just loud, brothers, don't be afraid." ”
Hearing the intimidation and encouragement of the regimental commander behind, the pirates in front regathered their morale, gritted their teeth and rushed towards the sandbag with bullets.
After two rounds of shooting, the pirates threw down a dozen corpses, and the pirates who landed in the back and the pirates who landed in front converged and rushed within thirty meters together.
If you let the pirates charge into the sandbags, you will have to start a hand-to-hand fight, and in a white-knuckle engagement, the arquebus is not even as good as a burning stick.
Next, the grenade explosives pack appeared, and Donner said in a deep voice, "Light the fire and throw it at a crowded place." ”
Because there is no flint, the grenade and the explosive bag are fused, the team members take out the fire source, light the fuse at the end of the wooden handle of the grenade, wait for the fuse to burn, and then throw it out, and throw the explosive bag if they are strong.
They had seen Willy with the grenades and explosives, so after throwing the grenades, they all lay down behind the sandbags.
"Boom, boom!"
The grenades and explosives exploded violently, and several unlucky ones were blown up on the spot, and those who were close to each other were directly shattered by the shock wave, and died immediately.
And that's not all, the grenades and explosives were packed with shards of iron-sand porcelain, some with spicy spice powder.
After the grenade and explosive packets exploded, the iron slag fragments exploded in all directions in a fan-shaped shape of 360 degrees.
Many pirates' eyes were smashed by iron sand, and some of their faces were full of holes, and the irritating dust powder produced by the spicy powder made the scene wail and cough violently.
The four pirate ships that came this time were close to 400 people in total, and there were more than 200 pirates who rushed towards Crescent Island, but at this time, there were less than 15 people standing outside the sandbags.
"Keep igniting the fire, throw!" The pirates at the front had already rushed to within ten meters of the sandbag, and the grenades could be thrown one more round.
After another round of explosions, Donner picked up his scimitar, stood up, and shouted, "Kill!"
"Kill, kill all these intruders. ”
"Go to hell, pirates!"
Hans led the charge with a broadsword, and the men in the second platoon lowered their arquebuses and followed the pirates.
Most of the Blood Shark Pirates were completely blinded by this time, and this strange weapon caused death and made the surroundings feel like purgatory.
The terrible damage shattered their morale, and they were so frightened that they didn't even see the enemy at a distance of only a hundred and ten paces, and they had killed so many people?
Downer slashed down a caught off guard and yelled, "Surrenderer, lay down your arms and don't kill!"
This is not to pity the pirates, but that Donner wants to quickly resolve the battle and minimize casualties on the island. After all, there are only a few people on the island, so it is better to preserve the strength.
The other is to continue to demoralize the pirates, so that they have the idea of saving their lives and not resist so stubbornly.
"Whoever dares to surrender, kill me!" The four regiment commanders behind rushed over and scolded sternly,
It seems that the majesty of the pirate leader is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the pirates, and the relaxed momentum of these pirates is in vain, and the scimitar that slashes against Donner is also vigorous.
Hans and Jasmine went up to meet the four pirate leaders, and the thief captured the king first, Donner had already explained.
After so many days of training, the team members were still very productive, and they rallied around the captain in groups of five, neatly slaughtering the relatively chaotic pirates around them.
For a while, the small dock suddenly flowed into a river of blood, and the pirates who were killed retreated one after another, and some pirates even tried to escape by jumping into the sea in vain.
Rows and rows of people were unstoppable, and the pirates fell on the docks one by one, victory in sight......
